    So far, I remember downloading over 60gb on updates for this game. Could be more, though.
    Someone gotta tell these boys at Iron Galaxy that updating is not fun. Specially when it comes to a fighting game which quick instant action is the core appeal. By the time the next 5gb update is ready, momentary interest is already gone.
    Let alone the fact that not everybody got a fast Internet

    Let alone the fact that not everybody got a fast Internet connection and regular updates could render hours of inability to play.

    I'm looking forward giving Killer Instinct another try. When it is finished, that is.

    A game of 2013 that just is completed in 2016... Well done Rare, you know how to innovate in this industry. Street Fighter V may be incomplete but at least has better controls and not make us wait more than 2 years. The graphics are good, but Mortal Kombat X has more fighters and more variety.

    Killer **** where they make you spend 40$ per DLC release but people don't seem to care because it's Rareware being manipulated by Microsoft. At least it's Rareware right? On lifesupport

    Killer Instinct is back with great new characters, an amazing single-player mode like no other and a solid gameplay. A must have for fans of fighting games.

    Killer Instinct Season 3 improves all that we'd seen on season two. Great new characters, solid online experience (crossplay included), deeper Shadow Lords mode and the same offensive an original combat system.

    A serious contender for best fighting game on the market today.
